The Freshets.

Mr.. Hall, the train dispatcher of the
Maine Central said yesterday in regard to
the freshets on the line of the road east of
Bangor, that he did not think the water
would subside for the next three or four days.
Fit should turn cold it would run off very
rapidly but the present warm weather is
melting the snow and keeping the depth of
the water on the tracks about stationary.
After the floods have subsidized and left the
line clear the road can probably be put in
running order in less than twenty-four
hours. Asthe track is under still water it is
not probable that any great damage will be
done to theroad bed although there will be
washouts in some places Mr.. Hall said that
the greatest trouble was yesterday between
~Oldtown and Danforth. The track is sub
merged in many places, while in others it
lies above the surface OF the water, these
sections otthe line being practically a series
Of islands in great lake. The heaviest loss
is represented by the embargo which the
freshet places upon the traffic of the road.

gyman Of this city, who breaches in neigh
boring town, started out in the afternoon Ito
attend to his duties. He had reached point
several miles out of the city, when he came
to bridge which was overflowed about
foot in depth by the water which had backed
up from an adjacent pond. Upon coming to
this the horse stopped short and refused to
move a step in advance and no urging would
cause the animal to bulge one inch. The
plucky man of the cloth was not to be
thwarted in this manner, but coolly removed
his shoes and stockings, rolled up his pants,
and waded across the bridge, leading his
horse. He was cautioned afterwards that he
might take cold, but we have seen him on
